SAA gave an update on the state of the airline on Tuesday, amid the strike over wage increases.Management of embattled SAA held a media briefing on Tuesday on the state of the company, amid the strike and wage increase negotiations with trade unions representing the employees.
Tuesday was day five of the strike, with the company's acting CEO Zuks Ramasia pleading with striking employees to return to work.SAA acting boss Zuks Ramasia said management was open to welcoming back the employees who are still on strike. She asked that they return to work while the negotiations between the unions and the company proceeded.
“We are not in the habit of fighting our employees, so we really want our employees to come back to work.”Ramasia accused the trade unions of trampling on the negotiations and using them to further an agenda not initially agreed to by both parties. “Trade unions have added additional demands which are not part of the initial dispute. There have also been incidents of intimidation and non compliance to the picketing rules. The company has therefore decided to approach the labour court on an urgent basis to interdict those demands.
“SAA is on the road of operational recovery. We'd like to confirm that we have resumed our operations, particularly on our international flights which have started operating. As from today, we have started with a limited number of our regional flights.”
